LAURISA- the light of my life

Lauris came for a whole week. We had sooo much fun. I LOVE her so much. I ditched school one day.. we went shopping, went to the campus and had a taco bell picnic.. We went bike riding one day and slip in slide! SO fun! We were always doing something. I miss her the second she left. I loved having her to cuddle and LOVED introducing her to people. Dang she's my WHOLE world. Here are some favorite pictures from the week!

The night she got here Lace & I had home-made enchiladas ready!! yummmm!

Independance Day!

Let FREEDOM ring!

I had the best fourth everrr! It was so much fuuun having sis here! My friends and I strutted our stuff on university ave on Friday night. Pretty much all of Provo was in sleeping bags "waiting" for the parade the next morning. Let's just say I got three and a half hours of sleep that night.. I woke up to my sis and two cousins jumping on me at seven thirty a.m. It was worth it though!! I went with my family to the Freedom Festival! SOO much fun! It was a blast having Just and Beth with us! My family has way too much fun together. The days are always filled with laughs! We had the BEST bbq ever. The shish-kabobs were amazing. I just love my family!
p.s the weather was sunnnnyy...just how i loooove it!


The night was so much fun! We parked by the stadium of fire and watched the fireworks in a truck filled with love sacs and body pillows and had our own music playing while the fire works went off. FUUN. Traffic was an hour or so getting home. Oh well. Then we met up with Sis and Alexis and went to Sammy's for icecream. So yummy! My new FAV.












*one word . amazing!!

If you think you can, you can.

I love love this quote. . my Dad always tells me that I can do anything i put my mind to. I know I can with the Lord. ANYTHING i want.

I was thinking today how big it is that I moved away from my family that I'm so close to. I have already grown so much and have had so many fun experiences that I will look back on and miss. School's going good, 0nly six more weeks left. I'm learning so much and have met such cute girls. My grandpa came in this week and let me cut his hair. I felt very special since he has been going to the same barber for YEARS. He said he liked it;)

Wed night I went to the dollar theaters with Tara and her guy friends to see TAKEN. So intense! Remind me to never go to Paris with one girl friend.. or if I do-- bring my pepper spray. ha

Thursday: The Dover Kids and Susie came over for dinner. It was so much having them over. It was hard knowing what they would want since, Jensen likes dinosaur nuggets, Marcus loves corn dogs and brescia pasta.. So i decided I couldn't go wrong with Cheese Ravioli and Pazookies!

Friday night was girls night AGAIN!! It's been so much fun making new girlfriends here. We went to Pizza Factory - It was so yummy..



Then we went to Color Me Mine & painted stuff! I painted a cute zebra & giraffe plate:)



Brandon Mitchell came to visit me- we doubled with Tara and his friend Christian. It was SO much fun to see him! It had been so many years! Tara & I were laughing the whole night.. They are such fun boys. We randomly climbed on the E Centers hockey statues. It was such a beautiful night .. we had fun jammin to country music!



I spent the night with Tara and then went to her singles ward that morning. I love her. She's such an amazing person.

BEAUTIFUL sunday weather!



I got a lot of pictures this week from my sis. DANG, i love her and my family.. this is my new background on my phone..
So we sent them this...


web cam with my fam!







Sunday was so much fun! We celebrated Grandma's birthday & had Justin and Beth with us from baltimore!!

I love my uncle.
ha dont ask.

Jac is taller than me! AH!!

Emily loves to make silly faces. . she's toothless!
i love being close to my utah family. I had a sleepover with the Parish's! We watched the modern version of pride and predjudice and made headbands!! It was so much fun. Nicki was so cute, so was so willing to give up her bed and she slept on the floor. These kids are so giving and loving! I just love them!!

First Midnight Showing!

My very first Midnight Showing.. I really don't know how I got talked into this.. since I had school the next morning.We went with Lace's brother, Girl-friend and a bunch of their friends. Lacey and I went to school going on three and a half hours
of sleep. haha. WOW. It was a fun experience even though I wasn't impressed with the movie. . I usually don't like sequels, I think they try too hard. It was a fun night though!:) We should've just pulled an all-nighter!

Thumbs Up.
